Extending TrackedList<T>

[Pål]

Hi.

I'm trying to make a collection with custom logic by extending the TrackedList<T> class. This works fine, but when the parent owner of my custom collection is loaded from the database, the collection is no longer custom but an instance of TrackedList<T>.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Update:

I tried to change my implementation of the TrackedList<T> class and it now works.

What I did initially was to create a class:

public class ViewColumnCollection : TrackedList<ViewColumn> { ... }

This did not work, but if I do:

public class MyCollection<T> : TrackedList<T> { ... }

It works fine.

However, I would really like to use my first implementation. Is this not possible?

Thanks

I have also tried this, which works:

public class FooCollecion<T> : TrackedList<ViewColumn> { }

But this throws a 'NotImplemented' exception:

public class FooCollecion : TrackedList<ViewColumn> { }

Error: Not implemented: No SCO factory registered for type: Navita.Data.FooCollecion .
Class: Navita.Data.View Field: m_Columns

Hello Pål,

Sorry for the late response. I did some investigation of the problem and I found out that if you declare the field of your property as 

IList<SomeEntityty> cusomTrackedList = new CustomTrackedList();

instead of

CusomTrackedList cusomTrackedList = new CustomTrackedList();

it works.

The CustomTrackedList class is declared as follows

public class CustomTrackedList : TrackedList<SomeEntity>
{
}

We are going to do further investigation of the problem and get back to you with more details soon. In the meantime I hope the information above is useful to you.

Kind regards,
Nikola
